Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow from AIB Benin?+

The published ceiling is XOF 5,000,000. AIB Benin lends directly, and its range covers personal, business and secured loans, so the same ceiling applies across the products it offers borrowers.

How quickly is the money paid out?+

Approved EasyLoan credit is Instantly available into your account. The bank describes same-day funding as a headline feature, which is why it ranks well among lenders that pay out quickly.

What do I need to qualify for a loan?+

EasyLoan needs an active AIB account held for a minimum age. AIBLoan is stricter: salaried employment, an active account, recent pay slips, bank statements showing salary and an employer memorandum with the bank.

How long do I have to repay?+

The stated term for EasyLoan is 1, which is the shortest on the site, so treat it as a short bridging facility. Plan the repayment around your next pay date.

What types of loan can I take?+

AIB Benin offers personal, business and secured loans. Home improvement is the listed use case, and business lending suits salaried staff whose employer has an agreement with the bank.

Is AIB Benin a broker or the lender?+

It is a direct lender, African Investment Bank S.A., rather than a broker or a marketplace. That means you deal with the bank itself, though the lender kind is a common trait on the site.

How do I get help with my loan?+

Support runs on email only, so expect to sort questions by email rather than phone. Keep your account details and reference handy when you write in.

Which regulator or protection scheme covers these loans?+

No regulator, licence or protection scheme is listed for AIB Benin, so no compensation cover is claimed here. Check the terms yourself before you commit to borrowing.
